I can't afford to sue D-Link. It seems that they have managed to arrange
their corporate affairs so that there is no way I can sue them here in
Denmark, but will have to do it either in Taiwan or USA. Needless to say, I
can't afford that.

I would buy a ticket to witness the sublime poetic justice of D-Link trying
to appeal to the Danish legal system over Poul's efforts to fend off their
connections.

I take it then that you are among those who believe that abuse of any
of these types of services should only be countered by technical 
means then, and never through legal remedies?
